1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: It's that time. Time, time, time, luck and load. The 2 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air. 3 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 2: In the name of our God, seventy fifth birthday of 4 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 2: Jim Mattress Mac Mackingveil. We'll talk about that in just 5 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 2: a moment, but for now we turn to the United 6 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 2: States Senate primary Republican primary. On the Democrat side, you 7 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: have Jasmine Jazzy Crockett leading by seven percentage points. The 8 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 2: San Antone Paper indorsed Jasmine Crockett, The Houston Chronicle endorsed 9 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: James Tallerico. You've got your white liberal, You've got your 10 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris, chameleon black woman. Neither one of them in 11 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: public life very long, both of them trying to be 12 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: the new face of the Democrat Party after Beto O'Rourke. 13 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: And we've got an interesting race on our hands there. 14 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: But we have a very interesting race on our hands 15 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: in the Republican primary. Longtime Republican Senator John Cornyn incredibly 16 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: unpopular with the base, incredibly unpopular with anybody who's been 17 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: watching what's going on. A guy who said that Trump 18 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: should get out of the race and not run for 19 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 2: reelection so he wouldn't be our president, right now we 20 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 2: wouldn't have had Trump two point zero, guy who set 21 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 2: his time for America to move past him, guy who 22 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 2: said you can't build a border wall, it's ridiculous. And 23 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: now the guy comes back. He'd have you believe that 24 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: Donald Trump's his best friend and can't understand why Trump 25 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: won't endorse him. So Ken passed in through his hat 26 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: in the ring, and immediately Cornyn was in trouble and 27 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: it looked like that was going to be it. But 28 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: then he starts getting hit on the other flank. Nobody 29 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: believed Wesley Hunt would jump in the race. He hasn't 30 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 2: been a congressman that long. Why would he give it 31 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: all up to run for the US Senate in a 32 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: tough race against two well funded individuals, and he's not 33 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: run statewide before. And overnight his name id went through 34 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 2: the roof so much so that in almost every poll 35 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: it's Ken Paxton, Wesley Hunt, John Cornyn. At that rate, 36 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 2: Cornyn doesn't even make the runoff. Ooh oohss ugly. And 37 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 2: what's worse, Hunt didn't get in the race. All guns 38 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: of blazing firing at Ken Paxton and Ken Paxton didn't 39 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: watch Hunt get in the race, and take a shot 40 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 2: at him. They both said nothing but nice things to 41 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 2: say to each other, which is, we need an alternative 42 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: to John Cornyn. And this is really upsetting John Cornyon 43 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 2: and the DC swamp. And so they pivoted, They turned 44 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 2: their artillery from Paxton to Hunt. And now they're spending 45 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 2: a lot of money in Washington, DC, Republican money, trying 46 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: to keep you, the Texas voter, from choosing your own 47 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: nominee for the United States Senate. Going after a. 48 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: Republican whose credentials are not in question, it's dirty, very dirty. 49 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: Wesley Hunt is our guest. 50 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 3: Welcome to program sir, Good morning sir. 51 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: How are you fantastic? 52 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 2: So you're a military man apache helicopter pilot. I've always 53 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 2: heard the old line that the pilots will say, if 54 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: you're taking flak, you're over the target. So if they're 55 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 2: sighted in on you and firing on you, that means 56 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: you're doing them damage. You must be over the target 57 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: because you're taking flak from Corning's cronies in Washington, DC. 58 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 3: You know I almost certainly am, and you're exactly right. 59 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 3: That means we are right over the target zone. I'm 60 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 3: going to flying many a combat mission and bag Dad 61 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 3: and Stern up a hornets nest and I'll never forget, 62 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 3: you know, flying through barrage and machine gun fire because 63 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 3: we're trying to stay with the guys on the ground, 64 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 3: and the guys were able to egress because they were 65 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 3: firing at us, which is exactly what our job was. 66 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 3: And I'm going to keep doing just that. That's what 67 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 3: my experience taught me in combat, and I view this 68 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: as being the exact same thing. And when John Corner 69 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: first got in this race, Key called this a vanity 70 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 3: project for me. He said, no one knows who Wesley 71 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 3: Hunt is. He said, Wesley Hunt doesn't even have a chance. 72 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 3: And now they're spending three million dollars against me in 73 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: Houston and in Dallas, attacking the guy that never had 74 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 3: a chance. That means we are right over the target zone, 75 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 3: telling numerous lies about me all over TV, all over streaming, 76 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 3: all over my social media. And it puts a big 77 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 3: old smile on my face because I will never back 78 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 3: down and I will never quit. The latest hit on 79 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 3: me is now all of a sudden, I'm in favor 80 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 3: of DEI. And what they can't understand is that when 81 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,679 Speaker 3: I was at West Point, and I became an Apache pilot, 82 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 3: and I went to grad school and my family, my 83 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 3: brother and my sister. I went to West Point in 84 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 3: the nineties and early two thousands, there was no DEI. 85 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 3: We worked hard, grit determination, and now they are trying 86 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 3: to come after me just because I'm black. All of 87 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 3: a sudden, I support DEI and I have been nothing 88 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 3: but against the EI my entire life because I want 89 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 3: to be judged by my great hard work and determination. 90 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 3: I want to be judged not by the color of 91 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 3: my skin, but by the content of my character. But 92 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 3: it shows you the character of John Cornyn because you 93 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 3: see he's attacked. He's attacking a combat veteran, making this 94 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 3: about DEI, making this about miss votes. The Lord knows 95 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 3: I'm that's the president from day one. I was the 96 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 3: first person in the country to endorse him. But this 97 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 3: man never serving in combat a day in his life. 98 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 3: This is a guy that talks about his family's combat, 99 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 3: but he didn't have the stones to do it. And 100 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 3: so when I look at these people in the face 101 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 3: and I continue to take all the hits and take 102 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 3: on all the attacks, I smiled because I know that 103 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 3: I'm doing this for the exact reasons that you just said, 104 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 3: Ken Paxton and what Slee Hunt are going to be 105 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 3: in this runoff and the people of Texas are going 106 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 3: to have a true conservative choice. That's why I've gotten 107 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 3: this race because seventy five percent of you, the primary voter, 108 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 3: are sick of John Cornyan, and that's exactly what we're 109 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,119 Speaker 3: going to do in the stretch here, in the final 110 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 3: three weeks. 111 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: Leslie Hunters our guest. I've been around this process for 112 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 2: thirty years now. I've watched how the game is played. 113 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: I understand the language, the rules, the mo I understand 114 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 2: it very well. I understand the things that are done 115 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 2: to keep you, the public, the voting public, the consumer, 116 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: in some cases, the patient, the parent of children. There 117 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 2: are games that are played and words that are used 118 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 2: to do things and not leave any fingerprints. I think 119 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: you know well enough to know. 120 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: I do not. 121 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 2: Ever use the word racism lightly. I don't accuse very 122 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: many people of being racist. I hate the term. I 123 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 2: think it's overused. I think it clouds the discuss I 124 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 2: think he keeps us from having conversations. 125 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: But let me be very clear. 126 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 2: For the Cornin campaign to say that Wesley Hunt is 127 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 2: for DEI in the way they have. Let me be 128 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 2: very clear what they're doing. This is nineteen fifty politics 129 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 2: in the world worst, most cynical way. Hey guys, I'm 130 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: looking at the polls and I'm in third place. I 131 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: don't know if y'all realized. 132 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: He's black. It is the most awful form of politics. 133 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: If you like me, folks hate hate hate. 134 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 2: You're so sick of the Jasmine Crockett, Sheila Jackson Lee 135 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: cynical politics of calling anyone a racist. White people need 136 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 2: to apologize. Black people should be exact. If you're so 137 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 2: sick of that, you don't say this lightly. But make 138 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: no mistake, John corn You know every year in Field 139 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: and Stream they'll tell you the story of a deer 140 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: hunter who wounded a deer got up close on him 141 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 2: and wanted to pet him. He can bring him home, 142 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 2: and that deer will shred him. John Cornyan has been 143 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 2: backed into a corner and the polls show they can't win. 144 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: He is desperate. 145 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 2: When people are desperate, they start throwing haymakers. This is 146 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 2: as cynical and nasty and filthy thing as you will see. 147 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 2: John Cornyn should be ashamed of himself. He should not 148 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 2: only lose and not make the runoff. As a result 149 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 2: of this, he should honestly be driven from public life. 150 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: This is this is saying the screaming the in word 151 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 2: in a crowded theater. I'm dead serious about this. That's 152 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 2: what this was.

This 170 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 2: is another thing I want to say, folks, is when 171 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: we when we get into the silly seas, you know 172 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 2: Steve Toth the other night at an event with Eddie 173 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 2: Gallagher at his at a campaign event, he said that 174 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 2: there was a member of Congress who told him, Wesley, 175 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 2: you might have heard this. I can't remember the phrase, 176 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 2: but he said, uh uh so uh to welcome to 177 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 2: the to the silly seas, and I like to call 178 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 2: it the up season. And he said, what is the 179 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: up season? And he said, oh, it would have helped 180 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 2: if I could remember it. You make it up or you. 181 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 2: I'm gon Hunt to improve on that one because I 182 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 2: started telling the story and I couldn't. I'll find out 183 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 2: what the rest of the story is anyway. So you 184 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 2: made the point during the silly Sea. I want to 185 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 2: make the point to folks during the silly season. A 186 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 2: candidate is responsible for the things they say and do. 187 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 2: You can't say, well, their campaign did it, because that's 188 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 2: what candidates would do. Try to put a little distance 189 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 2: in there. If Wesley Hunt calls John Cornan a cannibal, 190 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 2: you better show me the bones that he picked out 191 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: and spat out, and you can't say, well, that's the 192 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 2: Wesley Hunt campaign. 193 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: You're not doing that. 194 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: So for John Cornan to hide behind, well, you know 195 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: those guys in DC, they really want to keep me 196 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 2: there because they own me and they run the establishment, 197 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: and they're trying to convince people in Texas to vote 198 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 2: against your best interests. They are spending a lot of 199 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: money to say nasty things about you. Why don't you 200 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: take a moment? 201 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 3: I don't. 202 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 2: I don't want to promote what they say any more 203 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 2: than they are ready are. But for things that really 204 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 2: gall you that people need to know, there's a story 205 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: that you feel comfortable. I'm not going to read off 206 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 2: their list, but the ones that you say, here's what 207 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 2: they're doing. Because I think it's important to realize what 208 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 2: Cornyin is up to, which is lion cheating, stealing, misrepresenting. 209 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 2: This all he can do because he has no record. 210 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 3: Of course. Well, first you, right before the break, we 211 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 3: talked about the DEI hit, which for me is just 212 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: disgusting because I've never wanted to get or have anything 213 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 3: based on the color of my skin. You understand that 214 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 3: more than anybody else, brother, and that to me is 215 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 3: just utterly disgusting. The other thing is they're saying that 216 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: I voted for Barack Obama. I never voted for Barack 217 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 3: Obama in the general election. I voted for john Ny 218 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 3: Cane that year, actually in two thousand and eight, and 219 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 3: then I participated in Operation Chaos, and yes I voted 220 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 3: for Hillary Clinton, but thousands of us did. I was 221 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 3: not the only one. And then now they're saying that 222 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 3: I voted for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, which is 223 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 3: kind of impossible because he's a participating in Operation Chaos. 224 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 3: That meant your vote for Hillary Clinton. They are saying 225 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 3: a lot of things about the fact that, well, why 226 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 3: have I been absent and why have I been fake maga. 227 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 3: That's the next thing he is calling me fake maga, 228 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 3: The true fake Maga candidate, the guy that he is 229 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 3: one of two incumbent senators that the President won't even endorse. 230 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 3: It is John Cornyn and Collins, and he endorsed against Cassidy. 231 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 3: This is the guy that's calling me. The guy that 232 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 3: was a top surrogate for President Trump during his last 233 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 3: presidential run, the guy that was the first person in 234 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 3: the country to endorse President Trump. President Trump came to 235 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 3: my wife's hometown and a small town in Macocoda, Iowa, 236 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 3: and I was there to introduce him. The last time 237 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 3: I saw John Cornyn was John Cornyn was in Nevada 238 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 3: supporting another candidate, and I was flying with the President 239 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 3: to do a rally in Nevada. I opened for President Trump, 240 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 3: and John Corner was sitting in the front row watching 241 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 3: me open for President Trump. And this is a guy 242 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 3: that's going to call me fake maga and I'm seeing 243 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 3: I'm getting a book to Texans all the stuff. 244 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: Hold on, let me in. 245 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 2: What was the look on John Cornyn's face when he 246 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 2: had to watch you? 247 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: I love stuff like that. 248 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 3: He was sitting in the front row and I was 249 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 3: open for President Trump at a rally in Nevada, and 250 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 3: he was there not even to support President Trump. He 251 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 3: was there to support another candidate that was running for Senate. 252 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 3: And I know that candidate because we were at West 253 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,719 Speaker 3: Point together and he lived on the hall from me, 254 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 3: Sam Brown, and I used to haze him. So John 255 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 3: Cornet wasn't even in Nevada for President Trump. He was 256 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 3: there for another reason and showed up to the rally 257 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 3: and this is the guy that's calling me sake, Marga. 258 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 3: The look on his face says, you could probably imagine 259 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 3: Michael was absolutely priceless. And then now we fast forward 260 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 3: this two years later and this is why he's in 261 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 3: third place. 262 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: Dang, you know I love moments like that. Oh, to 263 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 2: vanquish your enemy and watch them bow before you. 264 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 3: Hey. 265 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 2: Unrelated to the campaign, I have a favor to ask 266 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: you when we're done.

I was talking about it 345 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 2: being Mattress Mac's seventy fifth birthday and my friend and 346 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 2: your fellow West Point graduate, Alex Meehler, brought him bagels 347 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 2: with her kids this morning and we were talking about 348 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 2: west Point and the experience and how it shaped her. 349 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 2: And I've had a lot of conversations with you about 350 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 2: how it shaped you. So I'm pretty proud for this kid. 351 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 2: He's the first kid from Splendor to ever go to 352 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 2: West Point.

You have used your celebrity for good, Superman. 359 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 3: An any young person wants to give the life for 360 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 3: this country. Here I have their back for sure. Brothers, 361 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 3: thank you. 362 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 2: So where do we go from here? How much money 363 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 2: do you have in the bank? How much do you 364 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 2: have to spend? 365 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 3: What? What? 366 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: What needs to happen for you? I mean the goal. 367 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 2: I know enough about these races to know that the 368 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 2: goal is to eke. 369 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: It's like Driver's aad. 370 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 2: You don't want to you don't get an A plus 371 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 2: and Driver's aad you want to eke a passing grade 372 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 2: because it's passed failed by one. So your goal, obviously 373 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 2: you'd like to be in first place, but your goal 374 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 2: is to make the runoff by one vote and leave 375 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 2: Corning in the dust. 376 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: How do you do that? Because they're coming after. 377 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 3: We've been doing that, which is unbelievable because it started 378 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 3: off has a bloodsheed between Compass and John Corny and 379 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 3: now it's more morph to John corn and literally just 380 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 3: attacking me all day every day. And I'm here for it, brother, 381 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 3: I love it. This is kind of who I am. 382 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 3: I live for this kind of stuff. What people don't 383 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 3: understand is that I kind of started this project about 384 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,239 Speaker 3: a year ago and so far, I mean, we've been 385 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 3: able to raise quite a bit of money to this 386 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 3: project over the course of the of the past you know, year. 387 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 3: We've spent almost in the past year by eighteen million 388 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 3: dollars to raise my name ID across state wide. And 389 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 3: that's exactly why we're doing so well. As you know, brother, 390 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 3: it's very difficult for a United States congressman to run 391 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 3: state wide because no one knows who you are. So 392 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 3: we took nine months to wait to see what the 393 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 3: President was going to do in this race, and when 394 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 3: he stayed out of it, we realized that there was 395 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 3: an opportunity. But in the meantime we were raising up 396 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 3: our profile and raising our name ID stayed wide and 397 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 3: so as the money comes in, brother, it goes out. 398 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 3: I think all in we're going to end up spending 399 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 3: close to twenty million dollars and that should be enough. 400 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 3: You see, it's one fifth of what John Cornn is 401 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 3: going to spend in this primary. John Cornn is going 402 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 3: to spend one hundred million dollars and finish in third place. 403 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 3: He is going to spend a powerball ticket all this race, 404 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 3: and it's going to be the most expensive third place 405 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 3: finished in the history of this country. 406 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: We've been friend for. 407 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 2: A long time and I'm not one to quibble. It's 408 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 2: not fair to you, and don't do it to anybody else. 409 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 2: But that's not actually accurate. John Corn is not spending 410 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 2: a dime. That is the d C establishment that is 411 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 2: doing every period of it is from people who the 412 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 2: voters of the state of Texas would hate. You know, 413 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 2: I'm not asking you to opine because you don't need 414 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 2: to be split in your but as you know, I'm 415 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 2: in for Steve Toath and and I'm not happy with 416 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 2: Dan Crenshaw, who I will remind folks, not you that 417 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 2: when I was to join him to hang out backstage 418 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 2: with Joe Rogan and I said, can I bring my 419 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 2: friend Wesley Hunt. It was just before the election, and 420 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 2: he did not want me to bring you because, in 421 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 2: my opinion, he didn't want you. You don't have to 422 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 2: respond here. I don't want you split in your audience, 423 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 2: but so just remain quiet. But I said, I'm gonna 424 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 2: bring my friend Wesley Hunt. And I remember what were 425 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 2: we just talking about? Ramote Ramonte just flagged me on 426 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 2: a clock. We were just I just lost my train 427 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 2: of thought. Crenshaw Toath, there was a reason I brought that. 428 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 2: There was a point to that story. Oh, DC insiders, No, 429 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 2: that's not it. I actually just lost my point romon 430 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 2: fact establishment that is doing every peer of it is 431 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 2: from people who the voters of the state of Texas. 432 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what it was. 433 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 2: Here's its As I've said a number of times, if 434 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 2: people could spend five minutes or even better fifty minutes, 435 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,959 Speaker 2: five zero minutes with these people, you don't know how 436 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 2: they're going to vote on everything, and people can put 437 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 2: up a veneer. Bill Clinton can be extremely charming in 438 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 2: person and sell you down the river. If people could 439 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 2: be around Wesley Hunt, Ken Paxton and then John Cornyn, 440 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 2: you would realize that this is not a human being. 441 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 2: This is what the This is a guy from Central casting. 442 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 2: This is what the swamp established. You can love Wesley Hunt. 443 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 2: You can hate Wesley Hunt, but you you would his politics, 444 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 2: or how he votes, or his position on this whatever, 445 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 2: You'd love the guy as a human being.

And that's what That's what 449 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 2: Cornin is and that bothers me. It really bothers me. 450 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: Anyway, back to it. 451 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 2: So they're hitting you with everything they got.

It's that it's 516 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: very hard to respond. It's like they're running around like 517 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 2: it's guerrilla warfare. 518 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: Right. 519 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 2: It's how it's how little terror cells in you were 520 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 2: in Iraq.

Put a 522 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 2: little ied over here, and it's impossible to put them 523 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 2: all out. And so you're probably hearing. And this is 524 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 2: what gets dangerous for your good, for your I don't 525 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 2: want to say mental health, but for your your your 526 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 2: mind is that you're hearing, Hey, I'm hearing at. 527 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: This and where do you hear that? Who's making this 528 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: stuff up? But that's their job, they do it. So 529 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 1: let's address those. 530 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 2: Right, you've got a record, you got a record, you 531 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 2: live on, you gotta let you've run on, you serve on. 532 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 2: You're a United States congressman. I consider you my friend. 533 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 2: Let's talk about who and what you are that you 534 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 2: want people to know relative to what the swamp corning. 535 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: Has nothing to do with it. He had no clue 536 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 1: relative to. 537 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 2: What the swamp is saying about you. 538 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 3: You know, Michael, my dad's a retired within at colonel 539 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 3: and he grew up in a segregated South, and my 540 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 3: dad broke barriers for people like me and my brother 541 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 3: and my sister to all go to way Point, to 542 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 3: all serve this country, and again to not be dunged 543 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 3: out by the color of my skimmer, by the content 544 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 3: of my character. When this guy hits me, I was 545 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 3: saying that I'm a dei guy. It really kind of 546 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 3: bothers me more than you know, because at the end 547 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 3: of the day, I never wanted anything given to me. 548 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 3: I am somebody that's wanted to sacrifice and die for 549 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 3: this great nation. And I don't hear what you look like, race, religion, color, creed. 550 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 3: I don't care. Brother. I'm your congressman, and it's a 551 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 3: white majority district and I'm won by over twenty five points, 552 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,360 Speaker 3: and President Trump would have won by twenty points. As 553 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 3: I'm traveling around Ammarillo and Lovick and al Paso and 554 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 3: everywhere in Texas, they don't care about what I look like. 555 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 3: And so when I see John Cornyan attacking me on 556 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 3: DEI type stuff. It just kind of makes me realize 557 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,479 Speaker 3: that they're willing to go that loan in order just 558 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 3: to get a couple of votes, and I think the 559 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 3: people of Texas are going to see right through that. Also, 560 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 3: if you look at some of the mailers that they're 561 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 3: putting out, even about Kim Paxson's personal life, I'm not 562 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 3: ere talking about Kim Passon's personal life. I'm gonna let 563 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 3: you know that John Corner is swinging for the fences 564 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 3: because he is actually in the gutter because he's not 565 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 3: talking about his own record, because he doesn't have a 566 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 3: record to run on. His record represents more of the same, 567 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 3: and the people here in Texas wants something different. So 568 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 3: that's why he's attacking me and Ken and going into 569 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 3: the word lastly, call of me fake Marga again. I 570 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 3: am the guy that is the MAGA Warrior and the 571 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 3: first person in the country to endorse him. These are 572 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 3: all live. 573 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: Never known. 574 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 2: You to stop short preach brother, going ahead, it's all you. 575 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 2: I'm just sitting here. It's your show. 576 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: Go I got passed it on tomorrow. Go ahead, what 577 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: do you want people? 578 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 3: At the end of the day, At the end of 579 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 3: the day, I still want people to come out and 580 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 3: support the best conservative candidate who's a young America first 581 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 3: patriot that's going to be around for the next two generations. 582 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,959 Speaker 3: I am not a career politician. When John Corner first 583 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 3: elected to a judge ship, I was eleven months old. 584 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 3: People are looking for the next generation, young forty year 585 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 3: old guys. In the vein of JD. Vance and the 586 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 3: van of our Secretary of State, and the van of 587 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 3: our secretarial war, and the vein of everybody that President 588 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 3: Trump is bringing to his head to serve foster he 589 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 3: is done. We need to nuke the filibuster to get 590 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 3: his agenda across the finish line. We need to get 591 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 3: rid of the blue slip procedural issues that are stopping 592 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 3: here from getting our judges, that are getting his judges 593 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 3: kicked out. Then he has appointed and we have to 594 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 3: act an insane concert with what he was elected for. 595 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 3: He won the general election, he won the popular vote, 596 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 3: he won the electoral College vote, he won every single 597 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 3: swing state. He won Texas by fifteen points. This is 598 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 3: Trump country, and we deserve a Trump candidate to serve us, 599 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 3: not just for the next six years, but twelve years. 600 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 3: I also believe in term limits. I'm telling you, if 601 00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 3: I did two terms of the House, I'm only going 602 00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 3: to do two terms in the United States Senate. Well, 603 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 3: here's it's long enough. I'm not going to be around 604 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 3: for twenty four. My little boys three years old when 605 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 3: he started going to high school. I want to go 606 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 3: to football games and go be a father to him 607 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 3: like my father was to me. These are the things 608 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 3: that I believe in, and I don't care what they 609 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 3: say about me on TV or online or on social media. 610 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 3: This is the Wesley Hunt that I put forward and 611 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 3: gave up my seat for the grace out of Texas 612 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 3: to give you a true conservative option along with Ken Paxton. 613 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 3: It's going to be me and Ken, and then you 614 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 3: can choose your fighter. But I would much rather be 615 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 3: between me and Ken than to even have John anywhere 616 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 3: close to that runoff. 617 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 2: I think most Texans feel the same. When I look 618 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 2: at not one outlier poll, but when I look at 619 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 2: them over across of polls, you've got You've got basically 620 00:31:55,560 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 2: about between sixty five and seventy five percent of Republicans, 621 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 2: forget the Democrats, forget the independence. Between sixty five and 622 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 2: seventy five percent two thirds and three quarters of Texas 623 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 2: Republicans voting for someone other than John Cornyn with over 624 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 2: two decades of service behind him. That is a repudiation 625 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 2: of who and what he has. Go home, Papa, go 626 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 2: play bingo, Go walk the dog, you know, go tell 627 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 2: people to get off your lawn. 628 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: But this is it. 629 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 2: I mean, we've had it with this, you know, Wesley Hunters, 630 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 2: our guest. I was looking at something late less night, 631 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 2: see if I can find. 632 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: It real quick. 633 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 2: And it was the four people in the Senate who 634 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 2: won't support the Save Act. And one of them was 635 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 2: John Thune. And one of them was Mitch McConnell. What 636 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 2: is he one hundred and sixteen years old? These are 637 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 2: four Republicans Murkowski, Collins, Thune. And you know, and I 638 00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 2: know you know this, You've said it. But if John 639 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 2: Cornyn goes back and gets six more years, if you 640 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 2: think he's been bad before, now, when he has six 641 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 2: more years, that will be he'll die in office. He 642 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 2: will never you think he's bad now when he knew 643 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 2: he had to come back before you one more time, 644 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 2: He's going to be so off. He is going to 645 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 2: be Liz Cheney holding hearings again, Trump it's going to 646 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 2: be awful, just awful. And you know what Western you 647 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 2: know what Chap's MIAs. Since we're on the subject, Well, 648 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 2: the one that really gets me is people have said 649 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 2: to me, insiders, money, guys, guys you know, have said 650 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 2: to me, well, what scares me is if we don't 651 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 2: support Cornyn and he doesn't win the nomination, then he 652 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 2: goes back to d C with a vendetta against Trump 653 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 2: and he will make life hell for Trump for the 654 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 2: last nine months. And why would you support a guy 655 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 2: that you think that's where his heart is. I can 656 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 2: tell you that if Paxing or Hunt didn't make the runoff, 657 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 2: they would not then devote themselves to destroying Trump. 658 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: Quite the opposite, absolutely not. 659 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 3: And again, President Trump was the first person to endorse 660 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 3: me first two races. That's why I was the first 661 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 3: person to endorse him. For whatever reason that did not happen, 662 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 3: I can assure you I'm going to double down on 663 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 3: the guy that helped to get me here quite frankly, 664 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 3: especially my second race. He helped clear out a lot 665 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 3: of the primary when he came out and endorse me. 666 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 3: And so at the end of the day, this is 667 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,879 Speaker 3: what America wants. See, it's not just about me, It's 668 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,959 Speaker 3: not just about you, brother. This is about what Texans 669 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 3: and what the country wants. That's why this is called 670 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 3: selflessmus This is why I work for you, not the 671 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 3: other way around. So if there was a world where 672 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 3: I did not end up there, you're still going to 673 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 3: see my voting record be in lockstep with the desires 674 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 3: of this president, which are the desires of the majority 675 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,800 Speaker 3: of this country. And that's why they put President Trump 676 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 3: in office. And that's the problem with the Senate right now, 677 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 3: is because we have individuals that operate on their own 678 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 3: behalf and not on behalf of the American people. And 679 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 3: by the way, you mention those people you mentioned, McConnell 680 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 3: and till Us, they're all leaving, they're all retiring. You know, 681 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 3: chill Us was actually doing better, pulling better than John 682 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 3: Fordon in the fifties, and he's still retired because he 683 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 3: realized that this time was up. Really kill Us and 684 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,800 Speaker 3: Cornan they're best friends and everyone knows it. The only 685 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 3: reason why he's not backing them now is because he 686 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 3: is scared of the President and what he might do. 687 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 3: But he's already done it. Because the President has not 688 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 3: endorsed him, and he is one of two incumbents that 689 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 3: he has not endorsed in this entire country. 690 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: Wesley
